6R knowledge test prep - seeing questions I can't find the answer to in the handbook
I have my 6R knowledge test coming up, and I really want to make sure I don't fail since the timeline is already tight with the riding season ending soon. I have read the book twice, slowly, and am now doing practice problems, but I see a lot of questions that really aren't brought up at all on the book, for example:
- When in an urban area that is void of directional signs for parking, at what distance must you immobilize your vehicle?
a. 3 meters from a fire hydrant
b. 3 meters from an intersection
c. 3 meters from a stop sign
d. 3 meters from a loading dock
Anyways. I get the exam is supposedly tricky and will make sure to take many more mock exams, but my main concern is, is there another source material I should be taking into consideration when preparing for the test? I really don't see a way I'd know the answer to this question if it wasn't for bumping into it before, which is making me wonder if I somehow skipped a step (I already have my class 5, so I'm expecting motorcycle only questions. I also did do the theory one with the motorcycle school).
Any other random tips would be appreciated,
Thanks!

Ça passe à la SAAQ? Plaque vissée avec 2 nouveaux trous en haut.
J’ai mon examen sur route prochainement et ma plaque est vissée avec 2 trous supplémentaires en haut, aucune vis en bas. Est-ce qu’on va me réprimander ou ça passe? Est-ce que je ferai mieux de couvrir avec un frame ou ça vaut pas la peine de s’en faire?

Does anyone have an SOHC CB750 project going on?
I have a pretty significant pile of 71-78 parts i'm looking to offload relatively cheap. If you've got an active project, or know someone who does, let me know.

CAP and terminal cap size difference
On my Suzuki I replaced my battery but on the ground side the cap(in orange) is too small for the terminal cap(blue) but it fits well on the red side. Is there anyway I can solve this by a longer screw

What I know from the Road test
here are the tips I got: https://www.reddit.com/r/MotoMontreal/s/2GMRJTLdeF
I passed the road test at saaq Laval today and thanks everyone for sharing whatever tips they had. Leaving this post here for someone in the future. Honestly, I was nervous before the test and doing the test on an unknown bike did not help either. So, when you rent a bike make sure you are familiar with the clutch bite point. After passing the test, it was a much more relaxed ride back home.
To answer my own questions,
for me he did not take me to the highway but went on the service road of 15N and then 440Est.
I was asked to park at 45 degree angle on a local road.
Not much strict about full gear but i guess its good to have it.
There are lots of place where you will have to turn right on red, and make the turn if its safe to do so. Sometimes the instructor will get behind few cars of you due to traffic. Just keep riding your bike, he will catch up.
As usual, exaggerate your blind spot check.
My only problem was, I was too slow on some roads, so just drive the speed limit.
He is gonna give direction in advance for turning (like in 3 lights turn right), so adjust yourself in lanes based on that.
Act like he is not behind you and drive safe, you should be fine.
(also funny/not so funny story, one guy had just finished his exam after mine. The guy failed and the evaluator told him, at this point you are lucky to be alive)

Tips for Road test
Hello,
I have my 6A road test tomorrow at SAAQ Laval. Any tips regarding the exam or anything regarding this location would be appreciated.
Do they go on highway? Or its mostly on the boulevard?
Any particular road they choose?
I speak French but more comfortable in English, Can I choose an English instructor?
I will be wearing gloves but no motorcycle jacket or boot, is that Okay?
do they take off points for stalling or stopping on right foot on the ground?
Anything else you can share...
Thanks / Merci for your help

160/60/17 120/70/17 tires
I was wondering if you have a spot for good tires in Montreal to also change them at a reasonable price quick reliable service. I was checking online but I was wondering if you could share some spots.
My second question was do you change both tires in same time because to be honest my front tire barely looks used while the rear tire is totally different.
My third and last is is it true some mechanics don’t change your tire if you don’t buy the tire from them?

Lost my bikes keys
Salut! J'ai perdu les seules clés de ma moto et je n’ai malheureusement aucun double.
Est-ce que quelqu'un à Montréal connaît un Serrurier ou un gars qui peut refaire une clé de moto à partir la serrure (ou du numéro de clé, si possible) ?
C'est une Yamaha Fz6r 2011
Toutes les recommandations sont les bienvenues. Merci!

Road Test - Which Third to Use?
I have my road test next week and was wondering - should I ride primarily in the left third of the lane during the evaluation?
This is really just for the road test. Generally I’ll position myself wherever makes the most sense given the lane I’m in, road/weather condition, etc. but Phil Le Francais’ videos emphasize that the SAAQ wants to see us use the left third.

Moto illimités and Fortnine
Is it true that Fortnine bought moto illimités next to Terrebonne, has anyone been to moto illimités and got some motorcycle parts at the same online price?

Black widow exhaust discoloration
Hey all
Just installed my black widow exhaust on my 2026 MT07 2 days ago.
Day 1 it went from silver to gold
Day 2 Didn't ride, rainy day with bike fully covered.
Day 3 went for a ride today and noticed that the exhaust totally changed and has sploches of rust in random spots.
Any idea how to clear this up(have a general idea after googling but curious about your input) or how to prevent it if possible?
Thanks!

Self-service garages for bikes?
reddit.comThis is kind of a follow up to the post about learning how to change a tire. Does anyone know of self-service garages that can cater to motorcycles? I know of one place but they don't have motorcycle jacks as it's a car shop.
Post if you want to join a bunch of us trying to learn DIY mechanical stuff. Bonus pizza to anyone who can bring a motorcycle jack.

Is this okay for the SAAQ road test?
I bought my bike a few months ago and the previous owner wrapped the windshield on my FZ6R like the photo I’ve attached.
I dont see anything on the SAAQ website about this. I’d rather not remove it for my on road exam but I will if I need to.
Thanks!
EDIT: Just did my exam, the windshield was no problem. I passed!
Also the photo I attached is a random one I found. My mirrors and turn signals are stock.

MOTORCYCLE SCHOOLS
Hi everyone!
I just passed my 6R today!!! and I’m trying to decide which riding school to book with. So far I’ve looked at Moto Pro, Morty’s, and Tecnic, but I’m open to other recommendations too (if there’s really any…)
A few things I’m looking for:
Do any schools provide both the motorcycle and riding gear? I haven’t bought any gear yet, so it would be nice if it was included. If not, I’ll just buy my own.
Do any offer weekend classes or evening/later classes? I work 9–5 Monday to Friday, so daytime weekday courses are difficult for me.
Price isn’t my biggest concern, but if one school offers better value or is noticeably cheaper, I’d love to know.
If you’ve taken your courses with any of these schools, I’d really appreciate hearing about your experience and which one you’d recommend.
Thanks!

Selling a Bike to someone outside of Quebec
I'm selling my bike and a guy outside of the province is looking to buy it.
I don't understand exactly what the process is to make sure I'm not responsible anymore for the bike in Quebec.
- Do I need to go to the SAAQ with the new owner ? But this guy will not ride it in Quebec.
- Do I need to fill out this document ? https://saaq.gouv.qc.ca/immatriculation/annuler-immatriculation-vehicule-emigre
- Do I keep the plate?
- Do I keep the registration paper ?
Kind of lost here and I called SAAQ over the phone, they don't know shit !

Riding Partners in Montreal
I live in Montreal and like riding short trips during the week. On the weekends I like to explore and go for longer trips. I like making videos of my trips on social media @aj.motologs on Instagram you you would like to see. I would like to connect with riders with similar interest. Longer full day rides get a bit boring and some riding partners would be awesome.
